Yang Anxuan did not pursue the escaped pirate ship, but took Yu Fei, Wan Mao and others back to Xunjiang Prison.
Determined to subdue Yu Fei, Yang Anxuan did not let anyone tie him up. Instead, he packed up three tents in the river patrol camp, arranged for Yu Fei and others to stay, and ordered people to deliver three meals on time.
At night, Wan Mao took advantage of the opportunity to go to the toilet to observe secretly for a while, and said to Yu Fei: "Master, the officers and soldiers are not keeping strict guard. Let's look for an opportunity to escape."
Yu Fei sat leisurely in the tent, as if he were sitting in his own house, and said calmly: "A dozen of us are in a camp with hundreds of people. Do you think we can escape?"
Wan Mao thought about it and sat on the bunk dejectedly. The boss was right, there was no way to escape.
"Don't worry, I see that General Yang has not taken us into prison, so he must have other arrangements. The food in the Jiangjiang Supervisor is good. Now that we are here, we are in peace, and we can spend the New Year here with peace of mind."
Before he finished speaking, Liu Zhong's voice sounded outside the tent, "Master Yu, can you come out of the tent and tell me."
Not long after Liu Zhong expressed his intention to recruit, Zhou You also came and said the same solicitation again, and Yu Fei felt more and more settled.
He has a happy-go-lucky temperament. If he can save the lives of Wan Mao and others, surrendering to the army is not out of the question.
However, Liu Zhong, Zhou You and others were defeated by Huoshai and Shijia, and they had to surrender to General Yang if they wanted to surrender.
On December 29, the afternoon of the second day after Yu Fei and others visited Jiangying, Yang Anxuan finally showed up and asked Yu Fei to walk and chat.
The two of them walked side by side on the pier in the water village. Yang Anxuan said: "I sent people to inquire about the behavior of 'Langli Jiao'. There is nothing serious."
Yu Fei remained silent, waiting for Yang Anxuan to talk about recruitment.
"Brother Yu's archery skills are superb. If you can serve the country, you will be able to achieve meritorious service and be crowned a prince in the future. Why waste your life with a reputation as a thief." Yang Anxuan stopped and looked at Yu Fei sincerely.
Yu Fei smiled and said: "I am unruly by nature, so I may not be able to be bound by rules for a long time. I don't want to deceive the general, and I am willing to surrender to the army to save my brothers, but I will look for opportunities to escape afterwards."
"Brother Yu is a good man who values friendship and loyalty. It's rare to be able to tell him frankly." Yang Anxuan thought for a while and said, "Let's do this. Yu and Brother Yu have agreed for a period of three years. After three years, if you want to leave, you can do it of your own free will. "
Yu Fei smiled and said: "Back then, I stayed with the 'Langzhong Jiao' for four years. In order to fulfill this fate, I stayed in the army for them for another three years."
Yang Anxuan was overjoyed. A man like Yu Fei promised a lot of money and would never regret what he promised.
If Yu Fei can stay in Xunjiang camp for three years, Yang Anxuan believes that he can form a relationship with him. As for three years later, there will be too many changes. We will talk about it then.
Yang Anxuan added: "If your brothers are willing to join the army with you, you can come."
There are still more than a hundred vacancies for recruiting soldiers, enough to accommodate Yu Fei's brothers.
Yu Fei shook his head and said: "Those brothers under my subordinates were once Jiang thieves. If they join the army, they may have a bad reputation. Even if General Yang can treat them equally, I am afraid that others will look at them differently. Moreover, these people are used to being wild and difficult to subdue." Military discipline appointment.”
Yang Anxuan did not force it, but "Langzhong Jiao" was a good hand on the water. He did not intend to let him go easily. He said: "After the new year, the number of river patrol supervisors will be full of 500 people. The fool will increase the intensity of patrolling the river. I am afraid it will be difficult to do business without capital." . And Brother Yu is in the army, how should he handle himself if he meets his old brothers?"
Yu Fei frowned. It was indeed true. "Zhushuiyan" and "Langzhongjiao" were the top three gangs of river thieves in the lower reaches of the river. However, they were put down by the river patrol supervisor in a few months. From now on, the gangs of river thieves on the river will I'm afraid it will be difficult to accommodate.
In this case, the only way out is to move elsewhere, but I am afraid that not many of his brothers are willing to join the army as Yang Anxuan said.
Yang Anxuan smiled and said: "Brother Yu is a person who values affection. He definitely wants to find a way out for his brothers. Yu actually has a way for Brother Yu to choose."
Yu Fei cupped his hands and said, "General Yang, please speak."
"The Hong family and the Yang family moved to Baling with Yufu. The Yang family's business in Baling has to be transported to the Jingkou area of Jiankang through waterways." Yang Anxuan said: "The Yang family does not have its own fleet. If you are willing, you can let your subordinates The brothers will become the Yang family's caravan. As for how to calculate the reward, we can discuss it, whether it is dividends or compensation."
Yu Fei learned how to read and read with his father when he was a child. He knew that the Yang family of Hongnong was very famous, but he did not expect that this young general Yang belonged to the Yang family of the Hong family. But it's no wonder that if he wasn't a member of a noble family, how could he have become General Fubo at a young age.
After changing his mind, Yu Fei thought of the two of them competing with arrows on the river. He admired Yang Anxuan's archery skills. This young general Yang did have real talent and knowledge, and he was not one of those losers who relied on their family background to get an official position.
Yu Fei was a little worried about Yang Anxuan's proposal and asked, "Does General Yang want his brothers to become the Yang family's tribe?"
Yang Anxuan shook his head and said: "To be precise, it is a shipping company. There is a cooperative relationship between the two. Each one gets what they need. Of course, if your brothers can join the Yang family, I can guarantee that the Yang family will treat them like a clan army."
Yu Fei thought again and again and said: "I can't make the decision for my brothers. If General Yang can trust me, I will go back to find them to talk to them and listen to their own opinions before making a decision. General Yang, please rest assured that no matter what the outcome, I will make a decision." Return to the military camp before the sky."
Yang Anxuan smiled and said: "Tomorrow is the Chinese New Year. Brother Yu might as well celebrate the New Year with the brothers before replying to Yu. Yu will be waiting for news from you in the camp on the fourth day of the first lunar month."
Yu Fei just tried to mention that Yang Jiaxuan would let a brother who was captured in the camp go back to report the news. Unexpectedly, Yang Anxuan really agreed to let him go, and Yu Fei was stunned.
Yang Anxuan smiled casually and said: "Brother Yu is trustworthy. If he only cared about himself, he would not have thrown himself into the trap in the first place. If you are more trustworthy than you, just come back before the fourth day of the first lunar month."
After Yu Fei explained clearly to Wan Mao and others, he took Huang Fu down the river in a small boat.
On the river bank, Yang Anxuan, Liu Zhong, and Zhou You watched the boat leave.
Zhou You watched the boat disappear in the smoke and said with some worry: "General Yang, will Yu Fei leave and never return?"
Liu Zhong had confidence in Yu Fei and said, "This man is trustworthy. Besides, there are more than ten people in the camp. He will not fail to return."
Zhou You said first: "General Yang, Qian Lei is under Liu Xiaowei's command. General Meng Longfu intends to reuse him. Yu Fei will be under Yu's account no matter what."
Yang Anxuan said: "Yu Fei still has a problem in joining the army. If you can solve the problem of Yu Zhuzhu, he will be under your command."
"General, are you concerned about his identity?" Zhou You also thought of this and asked with a frown.
Yang Anxuan nodded and said: "No matter how you say it, Yu Fei is the head of 'Langlijiao', and he must give a reasonable explanation to the court."
Liu Zhong smiled and said: "The imperial court has been recruiting refugee commanders to serve the country, just in the name of refugee commanders."
After looking at Zhou You, Liu Zhong added: "If Colonel Zhou is not good at handling this matter, I will leave this matter to you."
Of course Zhou You refused to give up Yu Fei to Liu Zhong, saying: "Yu will go back to the Zuo Wei Army to see General Huan and recruit Yu Fei to serve in the name of the Zuo Wei Army."
Yang Anxuan smiled and said nothing. Neither Yu Fei nor Langli Jiao could miss it.
The importance of the Yangtze River is self-evident. Having a navy of one's own is very useful. Langlijiao is familiar with water properties and knows the forks and waterways on the river. He has an advantage over the official army, so Yang Anxuan wants to draw them in. Yang family army.
Things should not be rushed. After everyone in Langlijiao has been running for the Yang family for a while, they will naturally be inseparable from the Yang family.
The Yang family now lives in Baling, which is a place with a developed water system. With a navy, the scope for maneuvering has expanded a lot. I believe my father is happy to see it happen.
…………
As the Chinese New Year approaches, there are not many ships on the river. Huang Fu pays attention to whether there are official ships following behind him. Sometimes he deliberately pulls aside, and sometimes he lets the ships behind him pass. By the time he arrives near Jiyang suspiciously, the sky is already dark.
Huang Fu didn't dare to find a deserted beach to dock like he usually did. He drove forward four or five miles and found that there was no one behind him, so he docked.
After hiding the boat, Yu Fei took Huang Fu to the small fishing village. Seeing the lights in the village from a distance, Huang Fu breathed a sigh of relief and his steps became brisk.
When he returned home, he found that the house was lit with lights. Huang Fu entered first and saw Chen Yu and others sitting in the house with sad faces.
Seeing Huang Fu, Chen Yu jumped up and shouted: "Huang Fu, why are you here? Did you bring the army with you?"
The remaining people immediately changed their faces and drew their sabers. Huang Fu said hurriedly: "The second master, the eldest master is back."
Yu Fei's figure appeared in front of the door, Chen Yu and others were surprised and happy.
Chen Yu threw away the knife in his hand and said happily: "What a master. Master, are you okay? Why did the army let you back?"
Yu Fei smiled and nodded to everyone, saying: "The officers and soldiers intend to recruit everyone, so I will send my servants back to discuss with everyone."
Chen Yu breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "The boss hasn't eaten yet, Zhao Xing, go find some food."
Zhao Xing agreed and left the room.
Yu Fei knew that Chen Yu was asking Zhao Xing to check if any officers and soldiers were coming, so he didn't tell anyone and just sat down on the table.
Chen Yu said: "In the past few days, I have been contacting people everywhere, preparing to work together to rescue the great master. However, those people are afraid of the officers and soldiers, so they have made excuses, in vain that the great master usually takes care of them."
Yu Fei smiled and said: "It's a fool's errand to rob and kill the officers and soldiers. Besides, the officers and soldiers are obviously powerful, so we can't blame them."
"Master, the officers and soldiers didn't attack you. Wanmao and the others are all okay."
"Fortunately, the officers and soldiers were not in trouble." Yu Fei explained the situation in the camp. Zhao Xing led people to bring wine and food, and everyone drank and talked.
After listening to Yu Fei recount Yang Anxuan's words and give him the two choices of joining the army or joining the Hongnong Yang family, Chen Yu pondered for a moment and said, "Master, can you trust Yang Anxuan's words?"
Yu Fei said: "If he can let his servants come back, what he said is at least 70% credible."
Zhao Xing stuffed his mouth with food and said vaguely: "The servant must follow the master."
Yu Fei picked up the bowl and took a sip of wine, and said, "I thought about it on the way here. There should not be too many people joining the army with me. Three or five people are enough."
Chen Yu clapped his hands and said: "The master and his servants have come up with the same idea. After all, the master promised Yang Anxuan to stay in the army for only three years, and then he will find an opportunity to leave. If many of the brothers are in the army, I am afraid that the master will be afraid of them." Afraid of feet, inconvenient to move."
Yu Fei said to Chen Yu: "According to what Yang Anxuan said, it is a good opportunity to rely on the Yang family to do legitimate business on the river. You are smart and take some brothers to Baling to join the Yang family. Most of our ships will be taken with you."
Chen Yu responded: "Don't worry, the master. I will try my best to preserve my strength and wait for the master to return."
Yu Fei smiled and said: "I have been in the waves for four years, and all the feasts in the world have come to an end. Maybe I will never go back."
Chen Yu and others were shocked, put down their bowls and chopsticks, and knelt on the ground. Chen Yu said: "Does the master want to abandon his servants and ignore them?"
Zhao Xing shouted in a rough voice: "Master, you saved my servant's life. I will go wherever you go."
Yu Fei shook his head helplessly and said: "Brothers, please stand up. I promise you that no matter where I go, I will get together with all the brothers before leaving."
After everyone stood up and sat down, Yu Fei said again: "The wealth accumulated over the years will be divided equally among everyone. If there are brothers who are unwilling to go, you might as well give more and let them make a living on their own."
Chen Yu raised the bowl and said with a smile: "We will talk about these things after the New Year. Let's toast the master with a bowl of wine to celebrate the master's return."
Everyone raised their bowls in excitement, and the room burst into laughter.
